Team Adventure - HUGELY DISAPPOINTING šŸ˜”

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH4 Discussion

Ultimate Edition owner and former Horizon player of the past 3 Games.

I can say now that the online/team adventure mode in this game is very poor from a design perspective.

Now for team orientated players who want to race together by all means yes and also beginners to the series by all means jump in and youā€™ll have a blast to a new racer and having a team to support you, but as someone whoā€™s played every Horizon prior and plays alone a lot of the time it seems poor design.

Itā€™s giving beginners a great experience but experienced drivers not at all. Having to rely on people you donā€™t play with to win races should be an option yes but not the ā€œonlyā€ option. Myself and others are forced into creating our own adventures which removes our online presence if we wish to race online with random matchmaking.

Just a few thoughts:

  • Only ā€œteam racingā€ now an option (ranked and unranked) unless starting a convoy (what happened to regular Online Adventure and also if you prefer to race online alone???)

  • Free Roam Rush is essentially another Playground Game with manic driving and doesnā€™t test anything other than map memorisation.

  • Drive to event feature removed from FH3 which means people are dealing with 60 second load screens and no time to quit or back out of sessions.

  • Team Adventure itself is full of mixed ability drivers who have no respect for the other drivers around them and with collisions only allowed these players should be penalised especially in ranked mode.

  • No ā€œnon collisionā€ option for racing (experienced drivers who want to focus on lap times etc.)

  • Racing wheel compatibility is utterly broken

  • Rivals ā€œAll Classesā€ feature removed - People like to build a car from scratch and test the lap times on tracks around the map.

Itā€™s only early days but from launch and previous game experience itā€™s disappointed me greatly, I look forward to some exciting changes :+1:

Experienced competitive player whoā€™s played the previous 3 games.

The Team Adventure mode is very poor and seems itā€™s only catering for beginners Playground. Non collision feature is also non existent which is what Horizon 3 did so well. Having to rely on people you donā€™t know or race with to win races is poor design.

Drive to event feature also removed which was perfect as it allowed time to recollect yourself and even get a feel for your car before the next race.

Free Roam Rush is poor from a racing perspective as players are simply relying on map memory over everything else.

Online Adventure needs to return so you have solo racing and team racing with option of ranked/unranked and non collisions.

The Horizon life/campaign features are ok but the online racing and synchronicity of the events is what I believe needs serious work, disappointed :-1:t2::-1:t2:

I know this is a bit old but I would like to add to thisā€¦

So after doing ranked Team Adventure I have to say Iā€™m getting highly pissed with it. When I started doing it I was quite enjoying it but now Iā€™m finding flaw after flaw its getting beyond a joke. Players wall riding around corners to get round them quicker, Coming first by a car length and the game places me in second place, being forced to use supercars in free roam rush, free roam rush is the worse thing that they could of added to the game. I might sound like a salty son of a mother but Online racing is ruining the game for me.
